    Amazing food & Staff

    The food was amazing, the service & staff went above and beyond!! Our guest count was over 200 and we decided to go with the plated meal option. The staff was very accommodating to all of our guests dietary restrictions including gluten free meals and requests for sauce of the side. Would highly recommend for any event!

    Fun, flexible and delicious

    We received more compliments about our food than anything else at our wedding! Olivia and her team really listened to us and helped us find a unique mix of our favorite foods, which was really fun for our guests. Everything was prepared perfectly, and the staff were so attentive and friendly.

    Distinctive Catering is the BEST! Our wedding was October 28, 2017 and we were beyond impressed with their service. They were so helpful with responding to all of our questions and concerns during the planning process. Our bartenders and servers were all so friendly to our entire wedding party and guests. The late night wood fired pizza was amazing and our dinner was so delicious. My husband and I liked the garlic mashed potatoes the best! We definitely recommend Distinctive Catering, you won't be disappointed!!

    Amazing Caterer!! We had over 200 guests, 18 kids meals, and 2 vegan guests and the delivery and quality were out of this world. Kids had their food right away and all guests were served in less than 30 minutes. They were silently and you wouldn't even have known they were there except for the delicious hot food and the beautiful place settings they set up. They were like little elves that magically made things appear and disappear. I'd recommend this caterer to anybody looking for remarkable food. Expensive, but worth every penny.

    We used Distinctive Catering for our wedding in August and we are so glad that we did! First off, the food was AMAZING. We received countless compliments from guests on the appetizers and dinner (rare that wedding food is great ;) ). The staff is wonderful to work with. They have excellent customer service - timely responses to all questions I had. I would use Distinctive for all future catering needs!

    Distinctive Catering did an amazing job at our wedding. We had lots of options and flexibility in our food and drink packages to start. And on our big day, guests continued to praise the food all night. Not to mention the service was outstanding. We didn't have to worry about a thing.

    Distinctive Catering & Events helped make the wedding day perfect! Professional service and quality food were provided. Abby was instrumental in helping us make decisions with the meal we selected. She was always very gracious and helpful as was Amy. They both worked very hard the day of the wedding and the table set-up could not have looked more beautiful. Bar tenders were efficient and professional also. We cannot say enough about Chef David. He is not only a wonderful chef, but also helpful in selecting our menu for the day. Our food was exceptional. All Distinctive staff presented themselves in a very professional manner. The food along the serving line was wonderfully presented. We had so many compliments on how great the food was. Distinctive delivered exactly what they said they would do for us. Thank you for all your hard work, all very much appreciated.

    Overpriced and Underwhelming

    The buffet was cleaned up when everyone barely had a chance to eat. We also paid for hosted bar service. We never agreed upon a time to shut off the hosted bar. The night of our wedding, the bartenders were telling people that WE requested the service be shut off at a certain time. We DID NOT agree to a set time. It was never discussed with us. We called to try and resolve this issue, and were met with a “too bad so sad” attitude. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND. Their customer service is TERRIBLE. All they care about is being overpriced.
